IN THEIR PUBLISHED REPORT. SAY THE
CAUSE OF THIS DISEASE IS
So poisoned by breathing: the vitiated atmosphere
of malarial infected districts.
All know the Kidneys and Liver are the cleansers
of the blood, and that if these organs are kept in a
healthy condition, Yellow p'ever can, and will be
averted.
That these org-ans enn he kept free from disease,
ar.d at all times in condition to woll and faithfully
perform th-»ir d ities, is a matter beyond dispute,
cavil or argument, and equally, it is true, that a
free use of
Warner's Safe Kidney & Liver Cltb,
in connection with
WARNEH'S SAFE PILLS,
will actually compel these same organs to perform
their allotted functions, and hence as a cleanser of

issues of the News have been received, not
only by the people of the state of Texas, but
throughout nearly every state in the union,
warrants the management to continue their
publication, and to give to each succeeding
one enlargement in scope and extension in the
details of preparation.
The primary object of these special publica-
tions is to direct attention to the splendid and
growing capacities of the state of Texas. In
the absence of state effort in the more imme-
diate direction of an intelligent immigration,
the News feels called upon to cover in a meas-
ure the wants of tho commonwealth in this
regard. It is deemed that this can best be
achieved by bringing together in one publica-
tion at least an epitome of the mag-
nificent resources of the state, presented
in such shape as can readily be distributed in
quarters where it will do the most good. The
News has reason to feel satisfied with the
success previously attending its labors in this
field.
Nothing will be left undone to make the
coming publication a work at once interesting
and reliable. It is designed to cover the re-
spective subjects of agricultural and pastoral
production, of education, of railroad progress
and construction, commerce, manufactures
and industries, mineralogical and botanical
wealth, the physical and topographical fea-
tures of tr.e state, together with a variety of
matter on miscellaneous topics, touching the
advantages of Texas as a location and field for
the capitalist, the skilled mechanic and the in-
dustrious settler from any and all lands. No
article will be admitted to this publication that
is not thoroughly and accurately reliable; and
hence will come its value for distribution
throughout the north, east and west, and in
Europe.
The character of previous special issues of
the News in the interest of immigration and
state progress will be a guarantee of what
may be expected in the coming Special State
Editton in September next.
Advertisers and business men—east, north,
west and south—looking for and interested in
their legitimate proportion of the trade of
Texas, will find this September edition of the
News the most Valuable Advertising Me-
dium ever offered to public necessity. It will
reach all classes and interests by the most di-
rect means, and will be reserved for future re-
ference and consultation. It will surpass in
usefulness the ordinary limits of newspuper
publication. The wide-awake business man
will appreciate this fact without further com
jnent or elucidation.
The management of the News will be
pleased to fill all orders for this special edition,
and offer advertising facilities upon the follow-

"Weekly Review of the ITIarket.
News Office, Tuesday, July 13, 1880.
In last Wednesday's issue of the News refer-
ence was made to the traffic in gold calls in
New York. On the same subject the New
York Journal of Commerce of the 9th inst.
contains the following:
Galveston. July 1, 1S£0.—Editor of the Journal
of Commerce: it is said that lor several months
past as high as to % per cent has been paid in
ycur city for calls on gold durinjr the next twelve
months. Have such transactions their foundation
n the apprehension that the specie resumption
m prove a ailure in respect to both gold aud
viiver, or in the fear that resumption may result in
a resumption in silver, thus driving the gold out of
circulat on? What ground is there for alarm in
either aspect? Galveston.
Reply.—Several months ago. and perhaps more
recently, of l per cent, was bid, and paid in a
few cases it is said, for the privilege of '• taking''
gold at any timt* this year. The brokers who were
engaged in the negotiation said that the buyers of
the pri\ ilege held that the continued coinage of the
standard silver dollar would compel the secretary
of the treasury to devise some means by w hich it
could be forced into circulaton, and in that event
it was regarded as probable that gold coin would
be at a premium as compared with silver or silver
certificates. But we can not learn that at any lime
have "calls'* been made upon legal-tender not^s.
Prom this fact it would appearthat those who were
buying calls" on gold did not apprehend a sus-
pension of specie payments. These transactions
were most talked about when foreign exchange
was strong ar, about half a cent below the gold ship-
ping point. Then the brokers engaged in this
•' privilege"' business were predicting an early ex-
port of gold coin. Now that sterling is declining
n >thin£ is said about gold shipments, and baukers
..re looking for gold imports early in the fall.
We see no cause for alarm, aud attach very Uttle
importance to the reports of calls being made on
gold, mainly for the reason that the business ap-
pears to have been designed for speculative effect.
.Moreover, the payment for the gold was to be
made in "current funds,"1 conveying the impres-
sion that there might be some trick about it.
It is well understood that under the resumption
act the secretary of the treasury has the power to
sell at par for gold coin any of the bond® issued
under tho act of 1870—1s, 4V4s or 5s—and therefore
the troa- u y can maintain specie payments even if
it should ne necessary to draw gold from Europe.
This being the case, there is no present danger of
a suspension of specie payments.
There is now. and has been for more than a year,
a discount of about 1-32 of 1 per cent, on silver cer-
tificates compared with legal tender notes. Par-
ties who sell bullion to the treasury receive silver
certificates in payment and sell them to the brokers
at of 1 per cent, discount. They are bought
at par by merchants and others who can not get
iegal-tender notes with wliica to pay duties at the
custom-house.
The continued coinage of a legal-tender dollar,
worth as we write only S9*4 cents, is a scandal and
a shame, i n 1 will sooner or later bring our finances
to grief, if it is n< t arrested, and the whole mass of
these coins remelted into bullion and either sold for
its market value, coined into dollars that are worth
ad<41ar in g«.ld, or into subsidiary currency, not
made a lesfu tender except for small amounts to
suit the cenven-ierice of trade.
In the local money market thcro is no change
worth mentioning. Money on the street con-
tinues firm at 8 to 10 per cent., with no large
volume seeking investment. The banks re-
main firm at 10 per cent, on discounts for regu-
ular customers, seeking no outside business.
In bonds there has been some movement.
Sales are noted of the following: City limited
bs at 56: county Santa Pe railroad 10s at 105;
Galveston City railroad 8s at 101; Santa Fe
railroad 7s at 90; state 5s at 102; state 4s at
100W, all with iuterest added. ^
In warrants, land certificates and stocks the
amount of business has been trivial, and with
the exception of a few small transfers of stocks
at about quotations, almost nothing has been
done. The inquiry in these lines is very light.

News Office. Tuesday, July 13,1880.
In the main, the week's bu.-iness has been in
fair volume. In a few branches there is com-
plaint of dullness, incident, however, to special
commodities, which aro dull everywhere, and
constituting no local grievance.
Dry goods have for the season moved rather
freely. Values are generally unchanged, but
it is observed that woolens show more firm-
ness—in response, doubtless, to the rece nt ad
vance of 5 per cent, in New York. An early
advance in these styles is not improbable, but
nothing appreciable in that way has been es-
tablished as jet.
Hardware is steady and, for some articles,
active, though tbe season has not yet begun.
There i3 no change in quotations.
Drugs show a good business—an improve-
ment upon last week—and a maintenance of
values.
Flour continues very active at the advance
of 10c per barrel noted at mid-week, since
which time there has been no change. The
local mills are doing a remarkably good busi-
ness, and the imported goods also move
freely.
Sugar is hardly as active as heretofore, but
the strength of the market has not appreciably
abated.
Coffee continues both active and firm at un-
changed prices. Importers stocks are running
low, and their sales have in consequence been
light, but transactions from second hands
have been very considerable, with a maintain-
ed inquiry.
Hides have been dull, under adverse advices
from abroad, but to-day there .has been renew-
ed movement at fair prices. The stock has
been p^easurably cleared off.
Wool has decidedly improved in movement
but not in price, which remains unchanged.
The trade seems to have come to life again.
Sales to-day amount to 6500 pounds.
The movement of bagging and ties is assum-
ing large proportions. Prices are dictated
from the east and show no change.
The local provision market has been kept on
tenter-hooks the whole week by the remarkable
speculation still in progress in Chicago. Prices
there have receded somewhat from the highest
point reached, but up to the close to-day the
speculation shows no signs of immediate disso-
lution. Values have long since passed the
point which would have been deemed possible
heretofore, and the trade, which has no faith
in the movement, has been waiting daily for
the collapse, and has been daily disapoointed.
In our own market business in this line has
not been brisk, indeed it has been moderate.
Nc one buys when he can help it, and he post-
pones the buying as long as possible. All
articles of bacon bave been advanced during
the week. Tbe only change noted to-day is an
advance of 3^c. in sugar-cured hams.
the first bale of cotton.
The first bale of new cotton of the crop of
the year 1880 arrived yesterday, Monday, July
12th, consigned to Heidenheimer Bros., and
was sold at auction in front of the cotton ex-
change, at 10 a. m. to-day, the highest bidder
and purchaser be.'ng Mr. J. O. Aymes, who
paid for it the round amo unt of $125. The
bale was at noon shipped by the purchaser to
Messrs. Lehman. Abrahams & Co., New-
Orleans, on consignment.
According to custom the bale, when exposed
for sale, was fortified with the following
official documents which passed with the pro-
perty to the purchaser:
Galveston Cotton Exchange. Galveston, Tex-
as. July 13,1880.—We, the imdersigned committee,
hereby certify that one bale of cotton marked "C.,
E. & S.. Heidenhcinier, Galveston," raised by J. A
G. Reidel. and shipped by E. Eckhardt & Sons.
Yorktown. DeWitt county. Texas, has beeu opened
and thoroughly examined, and that we find it con-
sisting of new cotton throughout, of the growth of
the 3*ear 1880, classing strict middLng, of good
staple and weighing 426 pounds.
Lseal.] J. O. Aymes, Chairman;
J. Zeioler,
T. J. McCarty.
Official: A. G. Mnts, Secretary.
Galveston, July 13. 1880.—We hereby certify
that we have this day w».i^hed for account of
Messrs. Heidenheimer Bros, one bale of cotton
i,new crop) marked C., E. & S., weighing 426 pounds.
Hardeman & Flynn. Public Weighers.
The following is a list of the first bales dur-
ing previous years: 1879, received July 2 from
C. Eckhardt & Sons, Yorktown, De Witt
county, grown by J. and G. Riedel, consigned
to Heidenheimer Bros.; 1S7S, received July 18,
from L. E. Newhaus, Hackberry, Lavaca
county; 1877, received July 13, from Browns-
ville; 1876, received July 27, from Mrs. Hauss-
man, De Witt county; 1875, received July 16,
from Brownsville; two bales were received
from Mrs. Haussman on the following day;
1874, received July 28, from Mrs. Haussman;
1873, received July 24,•from Mrs. Haussman;
1872, received July 16, from Mrs. Haussman;
1871, received July 26, from Mrs. Haussman.
It will be seen that last year's bale (J uly 2) is
the earliest on record, and the next earliest
was the bale of the year i860, which was grown
by judge Wofford, of De Witt county, and re-
ceived here July 3.
COTTON.
Liverpool is unchanged. New York is 2©S
points lower for contracts. 3Ianc-hester firmer,
but buyers refuse to pay the advance demanded.
Fall River stagnant, nothing doing, at nominally
unchanged prices.
In the local market there are sales of 130 bales at
unchanged prices, the indicated tone being "quiet."'

NEW TORK LETTER.
[Special Correspondence of the News.1
New York, July 9.—The stock market
opened under a continuation of tbe unfavora-
ble rumors about the grain crop, one-half of
which at least are made out of w *ole cloth for
tbe purpose of jamming down the price of
stocks, and also for the purpose of enabling
holders of the old gTain crop to get as much
better prices as possible for what they have
left of the crop.
That there has been rain at the west is not
disputed—that some rust has appeared on the
wheat is also known—but special dispatches to
tbe Bank of Montreal from its agency in Chi-
cago (the largest of the kind in the wsst) state
that, with fair average weather the balance
of the season, the yield will probably be the
largest ever Known. As these dispatcher do
not come from speculators either in grain or
stock, they carry a weight that is worthy of
attention.
The losses of some of the heaviest bull
operators in grain at Chicago, the present sea-
son, foot up an aggregute ut $8,000,000, and if
these parties can secwe advanced rates for the
stuff they still hold, by means of tho circula-
tion of bad weather reports, such reports will
find their way into every leading city of
America and Europe.
To the bears on the stock exchange the re-
ports in question have been worth the past few
days from 3 to 5 points, the leading stocks—in
fact nearly all stocks—having fallen to that
extent. Lake Shore (an 8 per cent, stock) was
knocked this forenoon to 101; St. Paul to 73X;
Northwest to 373^; Erie to 58%; Ohios to 31;
Michigan Central to 863a; New York Central
to 127^£; Reading to 14^, and Union Pacific to
8*i%; the chief drive, however, was still at the
grain road stocks—and others went off in sym-
pathy, including the roads that are showing
such tremendous earnings and paying such
handsome dividends.
About 1 p. m., it was noticed that the low
dgures were attracting the attention of buy-
ers, and prices advanced >£@1>£ per cent., fol-
lowed, however, by further hammering from
the bears, and a final steady closing.
Included in the roads that have bonded as
common carriers under the act of June 10, '80,
are the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Erie,
Governments are off % on the old bonds
since the cessation of purchases by the treas-
ury, and the 4s, which, down to this forenoon,
had been strong, were sold off later in the day
to 108>£ for $50,000 coupons. The 4Ks were
109%@110.
Districts sold at ; old North Carolinas,
January and July, 29^; do. April and Octo-
ber, 29%; Mobile and Ohio firsts, 101; Houston
Central firsts, 107^; Texas Pacific land grants,
57; Lake Shore seconds, consols, 116; T\ estern
Paciflcs, 106%; Cairo and Fulton firsts, 109.
The 10 per cent, per annum dividend on
Louisville and Nashville, wi^h surplus of 4 per
cent, remaining, had no effect on the shares,
which were dull at 123, sales.
The foreign exchanges are weak, though
firms who have settlements to make call the
market steady. less X was hid for
British bank, but the market generally was
about 4.84(^4.843^. Demand ruled at 4.85>£@
4.86, and cables 4.86)£@4.Commercial
names, 4.82@4.82%, and future cotton bills
4.81, offered at.
It is useless to repeat the phrases regarding
money—it is simply super-abundant, with no
adequate outlet. The street quotation at
London is l%d.
Messrs. Smith, Fawcett & Co. report no
improvement whatever in Texas hides, and at
present there is absolutely no demand for
them. The annexed quotations are wholly
nominal: Dry hides, 17c; kips, 17>£c; dry
salted hides, 15c; do. kips, 14J^c—all four
months.
Chesapeake and Ohio earnings in June were
$211,645, against $148,456 last year. For the
past six months they were $1,243,504, against
$812,810 in 1879.
I^ake Shore increased its earnings last month
$430,000, while the Rio Grand* road, with 50
per cent, more mileage, increased its earnings
threefold.
Sales of $4000 Texas Pacific consols at 92 \
$10,000 Jersey Central convertibles 102><; and
$10,000 do. consols 103.
Five hundred shares Marietta second pre-
ferred sold at 5.

there is one predominant characteristic about
Llano county, it is the number of rocky and
barren hills. A little spot of land here and
there having a soil not deeper than eight
inches, situated between two hills, fenced in
with poles not larger than those ordinarily
used in sticking beans, and having in one cor-
ner a rude building, constitutes tho ideal farm
in the county of Llano. The com tassels at
the height of from four to five feet, and pro-
duces an ear about the size of a first-class nub-

mand for sowing purposes. The only luxury
these people enjoy .11 tho way of fruit is tbUt

wealth of this county consists chiefly in stock*

CoL Robert H. Williams, one of the old

in 1333, and has resided there ever since. He
still owns the farai on Casey that he located
there, and has raised forty-seven successive
crops of cotton on the same land. The eolen I

The Sherman Courier says? Perhaps tho
most extensive saw-mills in the state are locat*
ed at Buchanan's station, on the T. and FU
railroad, in Bowie country. The engines and
boilers are 75-horse power, and all new. The
machinery is the most elegant he eve* saw*
Its fiy wheel is six inohes thick and weighs
5000 pounds. It has an ample kiln sixty feet
long, and containing 6000 feet of hot air pipes
for drying lumber, and caa dry 50,000 feet of
green lumber in a week. There is a planing
mill attached, 50 feet in width and 85 in
length, with a new late-improved $1800 planer,
saws and other machmory. There are fifteen
acres of ground covered by this mill and lum-
ber yards. It has a railroad track leading to
the Sulphur, two and one-half miles, for the
purpose of drawing stocks to the saw.
SHEEP AND WOOL.
Mason News-Item: The result of the with*
drawal of the agent of T. H. Zanderson from
this section will be seriously felt by our wool*
growers. There is produced annually in this
immediate vicinity from 150,000 to 200,000
pounds of wool, the bulk of which Mr. Zander-
son has bought for man/ years. The greater
portion of this spring's clip of wool is yet in the
hands of the producers.
ZtAKJB CHARLES, ZA,
The Echo pitches into the resolutions offered
by Mr. John, in the Galveston beard of health,
says they are ridiculous, and Mr. John evi-
dently desires to make himself solid with those
Galveston merchants mho grow fat during
quarantines against New Orleans, thus giving
them a chance to monopolize the Texas coun-
try trade A few days ago, while a colored
man, named William Brown, was rowing »
skiff down the Calcasieu river, about fifteen
miles below I^ake Charles, a huge fish, appa-
rently about seven feet long, rose to tho sur-
face about ten feet from the skiff, and swim-
ming rapidly towards it leaped about throe
feet out of the water and directly at Brown.
Fortunately the monster's jaws closed on the
rowlock of the skiff and on a portion of Brown's
shirt, biting and tearing off both. The attack
was not renewed, and Brown got off with a
broken rowlock, torn shirt and a genuine
fright. Brown says it must have been a
shark....In taking the census in Calcasieu
parish, J. B. Kirknian, Esq., one of the enu-
merators. came across, and had a long conver-
sation with, a soldier of the first Napoleon,
named Pierre Lanoirre. On the retreat from
Russia, after the burning of Moscow, he was
captured and sent to Siberia. He rejoined tie
army after the return of Napoleon fro* Elba-
and was under Grouchy at the battle of
Waterloo. Afterwards, becoming disgusted
with the treatment of Napoleon s soldiers by
the new French authorities, he abandoned his
native country for America, landing in the
city of ISew York in IblS. Though eighty-
seven years old, he is hale and hearty, and
talks earnestly and intelligently of his old
campaign experiences.
Now take your hoe and take your rake, and
dicr your garden ground, sunburn your nose
and tear your clothes aud gaily ny around,
but w hen your neighbor's chickens scratch the
seeds you plant with care, just wait a week
before vou speak, and do not, do not swear*
